De Palma Technical Genius August 3, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Brian De Palma is a true genius at the technicalities of filmmaking, and his 1980 Hitchcockian thriller, "Dressed to Kill," is very interesting. Some people think De Palma is merely an Alfred Hitchcock ripoff; he isn't. De Palma borrows elements from Hitchcock's entertaining horror film "Psycho" and elaborates on them with a modern theme that is all his own. "Dressed to Kill" is a good metaphorical work and a worthy tribute to one of the greatest directors of all time.
 DePalma's standard style over substance Hitchcock wannabe July 25, 1999

Director Brian De Palma has made a career of imitating key elements from the works of master Alfred Hitchcock. With "Dressed to Kill," he's sucseeded in creating a completley shameless tribute to Hitch. The direction is copped entirelt from Hitchcock. Maybe that's why it looks so good. The story however is nothing Hitchcock would be caught dead directing. The plot is a tasteless exploit into an idiotic world of sex and murder. A predictable mystery that unwinds itself much to early. The pay off is nothing special nor nothing intresting. This is simpley a bogus journey into the ego of Brian De Palma.

This is a classic thriller. Like the other comments, they dont make em' like this anymore. Micheal Caine was excellent, and Nancy Allen was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
